Anyone know why you can't seem to get a landline around here anymore? Verizon is charging $70.00/month for a landline and even as the price goes up constantly, now they are telling people with landlines that "they are removing the service whereby you can set the number of rings you want before the caller is put into your phone mail. This is not an important service to me, however I am wondering, Is this just a harrassment tactic to force anyone with a landline to give it up by raising the cost to exponential levels, and by lowering the amount of services once provided at the same time?
I have to keep a landline due to the need to have available communications (essential personnel on call 24/7) and during most disasters/storms/etc the cell phone service is worthless--if towers are still standing in the available areas, the millions trying to contact their extended families and friends all at the same time make it impossible to get a call or make one, and if cable goes down, there goes your cable/VOIP phone; cables are usually earliest casualties during a bad storm or flood disaster. The other idea--is Verizon beginning its slow decline into bankruptcy?
